The objectives of this specification are to:\n\n1. Be a single, definitive source of information about the AppImage format\n2. Ensure AppImages behave in a consistent manner, thereby enabling third-party developers to write AppImage management applications and distributions to offer built-in support for AppImages\n3. Serve as a guide for [AppImageKit](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit) development\n4. Provide developers with a checklist for creating AppImages\n5. Enable a lintian-style application to be written to check AppImages for compliance with the standard ([start here](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/appdir-lint.sh))\n6. Indicate the direction of the project and warn developers of future changes to the AppImage format\n7. Document the open nature of the AppImage format\n\n[AppImageKit](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit) is becoming a reference implementation of building standards-compliant AppImages, and the [AppImages](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages) repository provides examples.\n\n## Contributing\n\n* Proposals are discussed via GitHub Issues\n* Pull request can be sent for final approval by the maintainer, currently @probonopd\n* The specification is to be kept as concise as possible and will not include any kind of explanation, justification or help with implementation (although it may link to that information)\n* The specification itself will only include the \"what\", and not the \"why\" or \"how\"\n* Detailed justifications and explanation can be preserved by linking to the discussion in the actual pull request\n* General help on creating AppImages is not part of this specification but can be found in the [AppImageKit wiki](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit/wiki) \n\n## Organization of this repository\n\nFile | Purpose\n---|---\n[README.md](README.md) | Instructions for contributing\n[LICENSE](LICENSE) | Copyright and license\n[draft.md](draft.md) | Working document with proposed changes for the next specification release\nversions/ | Directory for released versions of the specification\nversions/v1.0.md | Version 1.0 of the specification\nversions/v2.0.md | ...\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAppImage%2FAppImageSpec","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FAppImage%2FAppImageSpec","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAppImage%2FAppImageSpec/lists"}
